To the north of the Snowdon Massif in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park lies another range of equal high quality, The Glyderau offer some of the roughest and most breathtaking scenery in Wales.
Why not let one of our highly qualified instructors guide you across this range taking in the spectacular summit of Tryfan, Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr and Y Garn.
Summits included on this route:
Tryfan917 metres/3010 feet
Glyder Fach994 metres / 3261 feet
Glyder Fawr1001 metres / 3284 feet
Y Garn947 metres / 3107 feet
From Idwal Cottage a short walk to the east will bring us to the lower slopes of Tryfan from where a wonderful scramble will bring us to the summit of Tryfan.
After a short descent to the south of the summit of Tryfan a short but steep climb will bring us to the summit of Glyder Fach and the main Glyderau ridge.
The ridge continues west to the summit of Glyder Fawr, the highest summit of the day.
From Glyder Fawr the ridge turns to the north west, descending past Llyn y Cwn before the long gentle climb to the summit of Y Garn, the final summit of the day.
Our route of descent is to the east, down to Lyn Idwal and following the good path back to Idwal Cottage.

If your looking for an adventure this is for you. I had no previous experience in anything like this and was just looking for an adventure, I definitely got that. This was a great day in the mountains with awesome guides, good company, amazing views and some wild weather. I will be back for some more in the future, thanks guys :-) (Posted on 27/09/2016)

Just thought I would give you some feedback on Sunday's climb up Tryfan and Bristly Ridge.
I really enjoyed the day, the weather was brilliant on the climbs (so glad of that) with poor visibility on the top and a tiny bit of rain on the way down, this mixture of weather seemed to add to the day's fun.
The two ladies in the group were great (a lot of girl power on Tryfan on Sunday, I was being overtaken by a young 13yr ? old and her dad) and Owen was an excellent guide, not sure if I will do that climb again (scary!) but if I did then it would be with someone like Owen nearby (and hopefully no 13yr old girl making me look like a nervous 43yr old bloke!)

What happens if the weather is bad?
We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.
Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
